Jindaiji & Jindai Botanical Garden

I recently visited Jindaiji a famous temple located in Chofu prefecture (Tokyo). According to historical facts the temple itself was created in AD733 by a monk who studied buddhism in India. It is also said to be the next oldest temple to the Asakusa Temple that I visited earlier this year. Besides the Jindaiji, there is a Jindai Botonical Garden located right next to the temple itself and I looked to see if any cherry blossom blossomed.






Unfortunately I wasnt able to get good macro shots. I might consider buying a Nikon Micro/Macro lens.
